I see a lot of ads these days for fancy mechanical keyboards from numerous brands, but the thing I always wonder about is: how do we know these keyboards dont have keyloggers or other spying tech built into them?

      Map usage times for a week.

      In the middle of a non usage time type the string of characters that are first typed at the start of usage time.

      Then open a browser using keyboard shortcuts (does Win+R open a browser in Windows if you type a URL in?) , type a URL, type in all learned username password combos, close browser using keyboard shortcuts.

        Yeah. That could work.

        I think it would get detected by many modern antivirus solutions, but it could work.
